How does Dan make money online?
Along with his business partner Eric Lambert, Dan makes money online in two primary ways:
- They buy products in bulk, get those products shipped to Amazon’s FBA warehouses, then resell them on Amazon.com. (This type of business is sometimes referred to as Amazon Wholesale.)
- They also sell an online course – The Wholesale Formula (reviewed here) – that teaches other people how to sell on Amazon.

How much money does Dan make?
A YouTube channel called Wholesale Ted spotlighted Dan’s reselling business in November 2018…
At the 1:50 mark of that video you’ll see screenshots showing that Dan’s business had sold over $16 million on Amazon in four years, and more than $5 million in 2017 alone.
That works out to more than $400,000 per month in revenue in 2017.
According to the show notes for an October 2019 interview with Dan, the average margin for the Amazon business is 20-25%, which would put the monthly profit at $80k – $100k.
It’s unclear how Dan and Eric split those profits between them or how much they reinvest back into the business.
Their online course also likely provides them with a sizable income. As of this writing, the course homepage claims to have helped 3,856 students, and I believe the entry fee is at least $2000.
That works out to about $7.7 million in revenue.
Our goal at eBiz Facts is to give you accurate information about online business so you can gain clearer insights, make better decisions, and achieve your own success.
With that in mind, we strive to ensure the accuracy and transparency of the income claims and estimates that you see on this website.
Here’s how:
- We treat all income claims we find online with skepticism.
- We don’t report incomes that seem especially controversial or unrealistic.
- We cite our sources and/or share our calculations so you can see where the numbers come from.
- If there are uncertainties about an income claim or estimate, we tell you what those are.
